Children's Bill of Rights





My teenage son came home from school one day,


He had with him a smirk upon his face.


He had decided he was smart enough,


And just knew he could put me in my place.





Guess what I learned in Civics Two,


The class is taught by Mr. Wright?


It's all about the laws today;


It’s called "The Children's Bill of Rights."





It says I need not clean my room,


And I don't have to cut my hair


No one can tell me what to think,


Or how to speak, or what to wear.





I have freedom from religion,


And regardless what you say,


I don't have to bow my head,


And I sure don't have to pray.





I can wear earrings if I want,


And I can pierce my tongue %26amp; nose.


I can read %26amp; watch just what I like,


I can get tattoos from head to toe.





And if you ever spank me,


I'll charge you with a crime.


I'll back up all my charges,


With the marks on my behind.





And don't you ever touch me,


My body's just for my use,


Not for your hugs and kisses,


That is just more child abuse.





Don't preach about your morals,


Like your Mama did to you.


That's nothing more than mind control,


And I'm told that's illegal too!





Mom, I have these children's rights,


So you can't influence me,


I'll call Children's Services Division,


Amongst us kids it is called C.S.D.





Of course my first instinct was


To toss him right out the door.


But the chance to teach him a lesson


Made me think just a little bit more.





I mulled it over carefully;


I just couldn't let this one go.


A great big smile crept upon my face,


He'd forgot he's messing with a pro.





Next day I took him shopping


At the local Goodwill Store.


I told him, "Pick out everything you want,


There are shirts %26amp; pants %26amp; a whole lot more.





I've called and checked with C.S.D.


They told me that they didn't care


If I bought you Goodwill shoes


You don't have to wear Nike Airs.





And I've canceled that appointment


For you to take your driver's test.


The C.S.D. is unconcerned


So I will decide what is best.





I said, "There's no time to stop and eat,


Or pick up stuff for you to munch.


And tomorrow you can start to learn


Just how to pack your own sack lunch.





Oh, just save your raging appetite,


I have special plans for dinnertime.


We're having liver and onions,


It is a favorite dish of mine."





He asked, "Can I rent a movie,


To watch on my own DVR?"


"Sorry, but I sold your TV,


I put new tires on my car.





I also rented out your room,


You will sleep on the couch instead.


The C.S.D. requires


Just a roof over your head.





Your clothing won't be trendy now,


And I will choose what we eat.


That allowance that you used to get,


I'll use it to buy me something neat.





I will be selling off your jet ski,


Also your dirt bike %26amp; roller blades.


Check out the "Parents Bill of Rights,"


It is still in effect today!





Hey hot shot are you crying,


And why are you on your knees?


Are you asking God to help you out?


Instead of going to C.S.D..?"
